Through the River and Over the Woods
Unitarian Universalist Community of the Mountains

How do we navigate change while hanging onto the traditions we hold dear? Is it possible to rethink the way we get “to grandmother’s house” and better align our rituals with our values?
You are invited to bring an item from your Thanksgiving centerpiece or table to place on our shared table during the service.
